Tuition Fee Waiver
Program Overview
The Tuition Fee Waiver Program is a benefit for eligible faculty, staff and management employees in the California State University. It allows employees to participate in CSU general-fund courses at reduced rates. Eligible employees may transfer their tuition fee waiver benefit to a qualified dependent.
Tuition fees are waived for a maximum of two courses or 6 units per term, for any of the CSU’s 23 campuses. Additional fees that may be reduced or waived are dependent upon the type of position the employee holds.
